160 [Cut out a Cheng Yaojin halfway]
After negotiating the conditions with Sir Shao, Xia Tian exchanged the rights to use four leading theaters for two years at a price of 70 million Hong Kong dollars.`
At the same time, the contract stipulates that after the two-year contract expires, Xia Tian has a priority lease right.
After signing the contract and obtaining the right to use the four theaters, Xia Tian was really confident and ambitious.
From today on, he has become one of the three major theater chain merchants in Hong Kong.
No, it should be one of the four major theater chain companies.
Debao still has twelve theaters in his hands, but most of their theaters are small and medium theaters, and none of them are flagships, so it looks a bit shabby.
"I snatched food from the tiger's mouth and snatched away the four leading theaters that originally belonged to me. I wonder how big is Pan Disheng's psychological shadow?" Xia Tian couldn't help thinking.
Small and medium theaters are easy to find. There are more than 120 theaters in Hong Kong, and more than 90 theaters are available. However, there are less than 30 theaters in the leading theaters, and now they have basically been allocated.
In summer, these four leading theaters are used as flagships, and then recruiting a few small and medium theaters, you can successfully form a theater. However, it is very difficult for Debao to find four leading theaters.
...
Xia Tian then revealed the news to Ming Pao.
"Shao Brothers Dragon Head Theater changed his surname and became a theater tycoon in the summer!" The news was published on the front page the next day.
"This newspaper reported that Xia Tiantian, general manager of Tianxia Pictures, signed a contract with Shaw Yifu, president of Shaw Pictures, yesterday, renting the four leading theaters of Wenhua, Jade, Gold and Baosheng at a price of HK$35 million per year, and successfully advanced to become one of the three major theaters in Hong Kong..."
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked Hong Kong.
"He is so fast. `How long has he been standing with us for now?" Jiahe, CEO Zou Wenhuai, couldn't help but say in surprise when he saw the newspaper's report.
"I wonder where he got so much money. 35 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount." He Guanchang wondered.
"I received the news that it seemed that Li Guoxing from Meiya bought the South China Sea exercise of "Mr. Zombie", "Detective Chocolate" and "Zombie Family" for nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars." Cai Changyong said.
"Okay, so awesome! Use our money to shoot his own drama. Not only did he make money for nothing, but he also borrowed chickens to lay eggs and became a person comparable to us. Awesome, awesome!" Zou Wenhuai said in surprise after hearing this.
The funds for filming "Zombie Family" and "Detective Chocolate" in the summer were crowdfunded from major film companies. With the help of this fund, he not only made movies, but also used the port sales expenses of these two movies to rent four leading theaters under Shaw Brothers.
This wolf made a fortune by making money by tying chickens and laying eggs is really amazing, and it almost costs him a penny. He became one of the four major theater chain merchants in Hong Kong and had the qualification to be on par with them. And this qualification was given by them, which is really ironic to think about it.
"This brat is simply an unfamiliar wolf cub. I have long seen his wolf ambition!" He Guanchang slapped the table and cursed.
As the saying goes, walking together is like an enemy country. Since Xia Tian has become a theater businessman, he will inevitably compete with them Jiahe in the future. It is really hateful.
"Okay, what's so angry about? Be more graceful." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand. "Even if he doesn't rent those theaters, there will be someone else to rent them. What's the use of blame? Besides, we Jiahe is afraid of competition? So what if he has four leading theaters now? Shaw Brothers has sixteen theaters, so we are defeated by us! Be more confident, as long as you do well, you are not afraid of competition from others. If you don't do well, even if no one competes with you, you will collapse yourself."
"What do you think of doing? Didn't you suggest you to delay and want Uncle Shao Liu to lower the price again. Now Xia Tian has taken the lead. What do you think of?" Pan Disheng looked at Cen Jianxun with dissatisfaction and said.
At that time, Sir Shao offered 35 million yuan, and he originally wanted to agree.
It was because Cen Jianxun helped him calculate the calculation and pointed out that it was not cost-effective to rent it for 35 million yuan, so he suggested that he delay it and wait for Sir Shao to drop the price. After all, he was the only buyer at that time, so he was not afraid that Sir Shao would not agree. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, which led to the current dilemma.
"I didn't expect him to be so rich all of a sudden." Cen Jianxun also said depressedly.
A month and a half ago, I didn’t have enough money to make movies in the summer and needed crowdfunding to obtain startup funds. Now I can take tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at one time, which is like a dream.
"Stop talking about useless, what should I do now?" Pan Disheng also knew that regret now would be useless, so he asked Cen Jianxun for advice.
"I suggest that we should talk about cooperation with Xiatian. He also needs to join the small and medium theaters, and we also need his leading theater." Cen Jianxun thought about it and suggested.
"Cooperation?! He has the final say, I have the final say?" Pan Disheng asked with a glaring glance.
"I think this should be discussed." Cen Jianxun hesitated for a moment.
Actually, what he was trying to say just now was that Xia Tian must have the final say.
Although Pan Disheng has twelve theaters, it is useless. Because you don’t have a flagship theater to make a flagship, the momentum is just not rising. Just like you open a large company but don’t have a landline phone, it gives people a very unreliable feeling.
On the contrary, there are four leading theaters in the summer, so it is not difficult for him to find ten more small and medium theaters.
Pan Disheng heard Cen Jianxun's hesitation and felt a little unhappy. He always claimed to be a business genius, and every business decision he made had won him a huge return. He only spent one million US dollars as his starting capital, and within six years, he accumulated a huge wealth of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
A business genius like him now wants to bow to Xia Tian because of his own mistake, which makes Pan Disheng really uncomfortable.
"You think we can spend a little more money and sublease the four major theaters from him?" Pan Disheng thought for a while. He was unwilling to cooperate with Xia Tian, and he was even more unwilling to bow to him.
"I guess the possibility is not high. If you only add a few million, it will probably not touch his heart at all. If you add tens of millions, then we might as well build a few new leading theaters ourselves." Cen Jianxun analyzed.
Now it will cost only 10 or 20 million to re-live a building and renovate a new theater. If you sublet it from Xia Tian, it will be a bit unprofitable.
"Okay, let's get him out and have a chat. Damn it, why are you so memorizing like this?" Pan Disheng said depressedly. (To be continued.)
